Re: The Legend of Queen Opala 2

Urgh... I've had to rage quit just now as I'm at a complete loss of what to do.
I finished Dreadclaw, and got the Gauntlet of Nobunga, which opened 3 areas to get the additional items.
So I went to the Blackeagle camp, and got the Boots of Nobunga. Then I decided to go to the west, past the dunes into Shaabera for the Armor of Nobunga. I go down south of Shaabera to the gate, and I get stopped saying I can't go any further.
Okay, I must of missed something, so I go to the palace and see that you need papers. I go into the Queen's chamber, but I get stopped by a guy saying she's unavailable, and to come back at a later time. I'm like... "uh... okay..?".
So I repeatedly sleep at an in, sleep from sunset to sunrise and etc, and I still get stopped by the guy. So I can't even go down to that area, because I can't meet the Queen.
I quit the Shaabera region and go to Tel Ravida for the Sword of Nobunga. I'm told the Pirate Captain will be hanging in the tavern drunk. But of course he's nowhere to be found, even after I've repeatedly slept at an Inn for a couple of days.
It's so infuriating for me to play such an awesome game, but right now I'm just completely stumped at what I'm supposed to do, and I've already invested 8 and a half hours in it. There's no sense of direction, and you could get lost for hours just traveling through towns, not knowing where you're supposed to go, and the game was just released so there's no guides to rely on.
Also, (I apologize for this wall of text), I'm well past Dreadclaw, but I never get the option to give my party members gifts. I've gotten Milana, and gave her that skull at Tel Ravida. But when I travel to Totville (Iliona) and Castle Redsteed (Layla) they never leave the Tavern, even after I sleep for days at a nearby inn.
